PROBAD
PROBAD is a modular system for the design and strength verification of pressure components. It combines calculation procedures, material and component databases, and modelling tools to assess piping, boilers and vessels according to major international codes and standards.
PROBAD verifies predefined dimensions and supports the design and optimization of component geometries and wall thicknesses. The software manages materials and operating conditions, supports classification according to the Pressure Equipment Directive and produces code-compliant calculation results and reports.
It is designed for engineers, designers and technicians involved in the design and verification of pressure components. It supports engineering companies, plant manufacturers, boiler and pressure vessel manufacturers, piping specialists and organizations responsible for technical assessments.

Benefits
Accuracy
Geometries, materials, pressures and temperatures are assessed through code-based procedures, ensuring consistent verification of pressure components.
Compliance
The modules apply major European, American and German standards, with calculation criteria and safety factors that remain fully traceable.
Efficiency
Integrated databases and predefined parameters reduce manual data entry and speed up the preparation of technical assessments and calculations.
Modularity
Calculation modules can be selected according to the required standards, component types and specific operational needs of each company.
Optimization
Comparing dimensions, wall thicknesses, materials and configurations helps improve component design while maintaining the required safety criteria.
Reliability
Automatic checks, code-based databases and stored safety factors reduce inconsistencies and improve the reliability of every design verification.
Integration
Structures created in ROHR2 can be transferred to PROBAD together with dimensions, materials and other parameters required for calculation.
Clarity
Three-dimensional models, graphical views and organized results simplify geometry checks and make completed verifications easier to understand.
Documentation
Detailed reports collect input data, formulas, results and utilization levels, simplifying project checking, approval and technical documentation.
Features
Data input
The interface organizes geometries, materials, dimensions, connections and operating conditions through dedicated input forms for each component and standard.
Model verification
The three-dimensional view allows users to check component geometry, position and connections before carrying out the calculation.
Results and support
Results, utilization levels and calculation reports are presented alongside calculation messages and context-sensitive help content.
